So the other day I was on the bus going home from high school, and in a gas station parking lot I saw a Whelen demo car!
It was a Chevy Tahoe, and it had a custom Whelen vinyl rap on the side, and literally every single light you can think of. It was probably in my city from Whelen to show the fire department, as all of the department’s squads are getting old, same with the police.
How common are these?
No idea, but I do know that Whelen’s European division has their own demo vehicle, a Ford Ranger:
They also once had this Crown Victoria (which as you can see has an Edge &…Liberty?, fitted (thought it was an Edge but now that I look at it it seems too thin/short to be an Edge):
Something I found out just now is that this particular Whelen demo vehicle apparently went on to be used in actual law enforcement service going by this photo (with relatively minimal changes too!):
